I have two jobs.

Mon - Fri I work at UPS. I load the brown trucks you see driving around your town. I work from about 4:30 AM to 9:00 AM those mornings. Job is VERY mundane, but it's easy work (albeit mindless), I get paid 10 an hour, and I get full benefits as well as tuition assistance ($3000 a year they will pay for my schooling) up until I hit $18,000 max.

Fri - Sun I work at Trader Joes (a "unique" grocery store). My job there varies. I could be unloading trucks, cleaning the store, stocking, register, etc. Good job (actually Forbes Magazine just mentioned it as a "great place to work".)

Both jobs offer retirement plans, both jobs have 401K's, UPS has stock options, both offer med beneifts (although I'll only need the ones from UPS), etc. Not bad.

It just sucks working 7 days a week. Total of about 44 hours a week. And I'll be signing up to be a part-time driver at UPS which will give me about 60 hours a week.
